Default Re: Google docs//spreadsheet//.csv export

I recently wrote a character sheet that serializes (er, encodes since this is vbscript) most of the character sheet elements and the uses ajax to push the xml character (and it's portrait image mime encoded) to a mediawiki website, the character sheet options are url/user/pass. Where then it is available for use in a dice roller app or mundane display.

Implementing oauth in vbscript is a no go for me, the vanilla controls are just so weak. Even the vanilla base64 mime encoding isn't compliant (spaces?). It could be done easily with a additional binary, but that's a distribution nightmare.

Now a github gist upload, that I have done and its a HTTP simple call.

You might do well with just exporting to dropbox/googledrive.

In my character sheets I dont export, I just print preview the sheet (no prompting) and return some website "success" that is returned as the Paragraph to the GCA user.
